FAQ

Float Fest huh? So how does it work?

Do you float the river while listening to music? No. Those two activities happen separately. You float the river in the morning or afternoon, then when you’re done tubing from either Cool River Ranch or Don’s Fish Camp, you head over to the venue to enjoy the music! We recommend you float early!

Can I bring my own tube? And if I bring my own tube, do I still have to pay to float?

Yes, you can bring your own tube, but you will still have to pay for a floating pass. This pass gets you on the shuttle, which will drop you off upstream so you can float back down to the concert.

I’m floating from Don’s Fish Camp, where do I park when I show up in the morning?

You’ll want to park at Don’s Fish Camp when you arrive and then move after you float.

If I want to float from Don’s Fish Camp, how easy will it be to get from there to the concert at Cool River Ranch after I’m done tubing?

Super easy! If you didn’t want to move your car, shuttles will be available to take you to the show. Otherwise, hop back in your car and drive just across the river to Cool River Ranch. Don’t worry, you’ll only have to pay for parking once!

Can I bring my own drinks for the river?

Of course! However, you’ll have to leave whatever you have left in your car before entering the festival grounds for the concert.

Sure, this whole thing sounds amazing, but what are you doing to keep the river clean?

Well first of all, we love the San Marcos River and are committed to leaving it in better condition than we found it. To that end, we’ve hired professionals to clean up whatever mess is left. In addition, we’ve partnered with The Meadows Center at Texas State who will be providing volunteers to assist in the cleanup as well. Also, both Cool River Ranch and Don’s Fish Camp do weekly clean ups of the river and will also be assisting in the cleanup pre AND post event. Together we can make this both a fun and an environmentally responsible event!

But I don’t really want to float, you’re not going to make me are you?

No, of course not! You can buy a Concert Only ticket and simply come to enjoy the show.

What time does the show start?

Live music starts at 11:30 am, but we’ll have a DJ kicking off the party starting at 11 AM.

So camping, what’s that all about?

Camping passes allow you to sleep at the venue on both Saturday and Sunday. You’ll want to stay Saturday so you can wake up early and hit the river to make sure you’re done floating before the music starts. You’ll want to stay Sunday so you can party all day and not have to worry about how you’re getting home. Bottom line is, you’ll want to camp!

So what should I be prepared for if I camp?

You should be prepared to camp outside under the stars. There won’t be electricity and for safety reasons you won’t be able to light a fire (but you shouldn’t need one to keep you warm on a Texas night in August!). There won’t be running water, but we will be providing porta potties for when nature calls. You’ll need to bring a tent, a sleeping bag, and rations to get you through the night.

If I’m sharing a tent with a friend, can I only buy one camping pass?

No, you’ll need to buy one for each person that will be staying the night.

Can I bring a grill or bbq cooker?

Yes, grills are allowed. Just no open fires

Does my child have to buy a ticket?

Kids under 10 are free.

Are showers available?

No showers are available on site.

How big are the campsites?

There is no specific size to each campsite. It’s first come first serve. There is plenty of room for your giant tent and all your friends!

Can I park my car next to my tent?

There will be no cars allowed inside the camping area. You can park your car very close to the campsite though. The parking field and camping site are very close to each other. See our site map for more information.

Can I bring food and drinks inside the campgrounds?

Yes, you can bring some food and beverages including alcohol inside the campgrounds.

Can I leave the campground at night?

No. campgrounds will close at 12am and you may not exit and return. So be sure you bring everything you need!
